In the county government of Jiangning County, Zhao Zhutou reported a murder case to the county magistrate. The deceased, like the previous twenty-one cases, had been drained of the blood of his whole body and became a dried corpse.

Wang Xianling sighed heavily, he had already reported this series of murders to the Danyang County Guard. The county guard was furious and ordered him to solve the case within 15 days, otherwise he would go to Beijing in shackles and ask for death.

Wang Xianling sighed more times in the past few days than he had in the previous thirty-six years.

It's hard to be an official. For more than ten years, the township test, the meeting test, and the palace test have passed all the way, and every step forward is countless frustrated scholars, and its tragedy is not much worse than that of a general. It took a lot of hardships to get a jinshi, and he was arranged by the imperial court to be a seven-grade county commander in Jiangning County.

Although Wang Xianling is not the poor and poor Qing official, he is also a capable official. In the three years since he took office, he has taken care of Jiangning County in a neat and orderly manner, although it will not close its doors at night and leave no roads behind, but it is also the people's peace and tranquility. Originally, the county guard saw that he was a cadre, and he was not less filial piety during the New Year, so he had the intention to promote him, and he also gave him the bottom in private, and there was news within the year.

Wang Xianling thought that the hard days were coming to an end, who would have thought that he would be happy in a few days, and he encountered the tornado that suffered a thousand knives, although there were no casualties in the county, but also destroyed countless houses. It's just been dealt with, and after two days of leisure, this serial murder case has come again. After the typhoon, the county guard never mentioned the promotion, and this time there was a serial murder case, and the promotion seemed to be completely out of play. This god seems to be deliberately unable to get along with himself.

Speaking of which, Wang Xianling still has one thing in his heart for many years, that is, his son Wang Yuanfeng.

Wang Yuanfeng is fourteen years old this year, already seven feet tall, with beautiful eyebrows, and in two or three years, he will be a living white and beautiful eyebrows. But just one thing, he has been stupid and stupid since he came out of his mother's womb, and he is giggling and scratching his ears and cheeks when he sees anyone. Over the years, Wang Xianling spent most of his savings on seeking medical advice for him, and a ingot, gold and silver, flowed out, but this Yuanfeng's dementia did not improve at all.

In the past few years, Wang Xianling has gradually lost his heart to treat his stupid son, and he has devoted himself to his official career, striving to earn a few more family businesses for him, lest he end up in a bleak situation where he starved to death on the streets after a hundred years.

But just last night he had a strange dream. He dreamed that a golden fox ran into the county hall, saying that he had been blessed by him in his early years, and he had come to repay his kindness today, and asked him to take his son to meet him at the Wild Fox Temple ten miles outside the east gate in the evening, and then he would return a sound son.

Think about it day and dream night night. Wang Xianling didn't believe it at first, but he was too worried about his son's dementia on weekdays. But after sitting in the hall all day during the day, it was fine when dealing with official business, but once he stopped, the dream played back in front of his eyes over and over again, making Wang Xianling upset.

At present, Zhao Zhutou came to report that there was a dried corpse in the Liu family outside the east gate, just by the way, or he took his son to the Wild Fox Temple for a walk, and when he came back, he went to Liu's house again to ask about the case?

With this thought, Wang Xianling couldn't sit still anymore. He returned to the back office, took off his official uniform, and changed into a foreign uniform. After searching for it in the back office, I found my son who was playing with mud and my wife who was making needles on the side of the flower bed.

Wang Xianling confessed a few words to his wife, and then led his son out. In order to get rid of the tongue, Wang Xianling also sent the coachman away. Only his two fathers and sons drove the carriage all the way to the east, out of the east city gate, and traveled for about half an hour to the wild fox temple.

Wang Xian ordered the carriage to be bolted to the stone lion in front of the temple gate before he wanted to call his son out of the car. The stupid son Wang Yuanfeng jumped down from the car happily, ran to the door of the wild fox temple in a hurry, and knocked on the door with a bang.

Wang County Ling has been a parent official in Jiangning County for three years, and he has really never heard of this Wild Fox Temple, let alone been there. If it weren't for the fact that this Wild Fox Temple was not far from the edge of the official road, he might not be able to find it.

At this moment, the door "creaked" open.

A middle-aged woman walked out of it. The woman was well-maintained and charming, and when she saw Wang Xianling's father and son outside the door, she was full of smiles.

She naturally grabbed the hand of Yuanfeng, who was standing stupidly after the door opened, and walked in front of Wang Xianling.

The woman bowed and said, "The surviving Yu family has seen the county honor. ”

Wang Xianling pulled Yuanfeng to his side and said in surprise: "This official has never seen you before, how do you know my identity?" ”

The woman smiled and said, "The county lord is busy, so he must have forgotten about his concubine a long time ago." Don't mention it from afar, didn't the county forget the fox last night? ”

Wang Xianling was even more surprised: "You are the fox, aren't you a fox demon?" ”

The woman said: "The concubine is a fox, but not a demon." He said: "It's cold outside, and the county still has a conversation in the Linggongzi Temple." ”

Wang County Ling has been an official for many years, and his qi cultivation kung fu has already had a level above the level, and after pressing the surprise in his heart slightly, he showed a calm and relaxed appearance, and followed the woman into the wild fox temple.
